    Retail beef prices are soaring, but I can tell you from the other end, auction sale prices of market weight steers sure as fuck hasn’t gone up that much.

    Lot of squeezing happening in the middle somewhere. Curious, that one.

      We noticed this when we went to a Texas Roadhouse. Their restaurant prices for steaks hadn’t gone up hardly at all and seemed very surprisingly reasonable, whole beef at the grocer is painful.

      Not sure where you are, but here in Alberta it’s more than double what it was a few years ago to buy a half steer, and I’m buying from a family member.
